The author explains that, due to their neurodivergent traits, they face profound difficulty when it comes to delegating tasks, assigning responsibilities, or providing precise operational instructions and briefings to others.
As a result, they require an unusually high level of support from individuals capable of autonomously recognizing where assistance is needed, proactively stepping in to move work forward, and even handling negotiations on their behalf before issues escalate.
From the perspective of neurotypical workplace norms, expecting this degree of intuitive support from others may appear unrealistic or excessively demanding. However, the author argues that AI currently excels precisely in this domain of “anticipatory understanding” — the ability to infer intent, detect gaps, and compensate for unspoken operational needs.
While many people express concern that reliance on AI may weaken human cognitive abilities, the author frames AI very differently: as “the ultimate companion” that supplements functions they inherently struggle to perform. Rather than fearing cognitive decline through AI dependence, the author suggests that AI should be viewed as an unprecedented cognitive extension — almost as if one had been granted additional mental storage capacity at no cost.
In this sense, the concept of AI as an “ultimate buddy” extends far beyond conventional productivity enhancement. It represents a fundamentally different mode of collaboration in which AI compensates for neurological limitations that cannot simply be overcome through effort alone — such as issuing structured instructions, anticipating contextual needs, or coordinating complex interpersonal workflows.
The author therefore advocates a forward-looking perspective: instead of investing energy in criticizing AI, individuals should focus on how to leverage the newly created cognitive bandwidth and expanded capacity for growth that AI enables. The central question is no longer whether AI should be used, but how effectively human potential can evolve when supported by tools capable of augmenting areas of intrinsic difficulty.
